Brother SE700 Sewing and Embroidery Machine, and SAEMB7511 100-Piece 75/11 Embroidery Needles

I got the Brother SE700 for Christmas to make my own American Girl doll clothes, and I absolutely love it 🪡💖 This is my first sewing machine ever, and it was incredibly easy to assemble and start using right away. The sewing stitches are smooth, the embroidery feature is easy to navigate, and the touchscreen makes everything feel simple—even for a beginner. I was sewing confidently within days! It’s quiet, well-made, and has so many helpful features like the automatic needle threader. If you’re a beginner or want one machine that does both sewing and embroidery, this is a fantastic choice. 5 stars for sure! 🌟

I had high ambitions to buy a much more expensive machine but just couldn't afford it. I settled on this machine and thought the embroidery function would be nice to have. I was absolutely blown away by the quality of this little machine. I use mine for mini quilts, mending clothes, and miscellaneous sewing. I have dabbled with the embroidery functions but I'm still learning that. Compared to my Singer machine from 20 years ago, holy cow. This machine is by far superior. Yes, I know, I'm comparing it to a much older machine but it was "entry level" as well. I absolutely love the speed control, needle down option, automatic needle threader, and the ability to automatically cut the thread. This machine has handled everything I've thrown at it without any issues. I was thoroughly impressed with the motor and how well this little machine handles thick quilt sandwiches. I'm not sure but I believe it has a separate motor for the bobbin winder? Don't quote me on that, maybe double check that but it sounds like it does. Brother thought of everything when designing this machine, down to even the bobbin winder having a thread holder/cutter. The drop in bobbin setup is awesome because it cuts the thread to the proper length it needs. The screen is crisp and easy to read. I performed a software update and it went flawlessly. I really like that they have you download it to a USB thumb drive then install from there. Less of a chance to brick the machine with a bad software update if your wifi drops. The screen is also very responsive to touch and everything is easy to find. The embroider function and available designs out of the box are pretty neat. You can also use the Artspira app to add more designs and transfer them over wifi to your machine. Very cool! You can even transfer your own designs you make or purchase from other shops into the app to transfer them to the machine. Of course you can also just use a USB thumb drive to load designs onto the machine if you'd like. This machine is amazing and I hope to get many years of use out of it. My only complaint is the throat space. Obviously you're not going to be making huge quilts with this machine unless you really like trying to squeeze huge rolls of fabric through the small throat space. You could probably get away with making throw quilts but don't expect this to fully accommodate sewing a king-size quilt obviously. All in all, I fully recommend this machine to anyone. If you're a beginner, it is super beginner friendly.

So I've had this machine for over a year and finally writing a review. I am a self taught when it comes to sewing but I have done a lot of things. This is my 3rd sewing machine because I really wanted to ability to embroider but I thought my other machine was just fine, it was on the nicer side of options at the time but that cant even compair to this one. I love the easy touch screen setting and easy bobbin acess and rethreading. I personally dont use the needle self threading because I had a hard time trying to get it to work, so I just rethread it myself (proably my only major issue with this machine). So great for sewing honestly. Now the embroidery element is just fine, it works well and I've created my own patterns but it definitely cant do anything extremely fancy in my experience (maybe its a skill issue) but it does a fine enough job that I still love it and its good enough for the price. So if you want this for embodery only, its a fine choice but honestly the sewing element is definitely what makes it worth the price.

Easy to use. Love the automatic threading! Sews nicely and much quieter than my 20+ years old machine.

I adore this machine! It has been very user friendly and has helped me to start my own business. It is reliable and with the help of the manual, I have been able to learn each new vocabulary word that has come with the sewing world. It does not take up too much space and is light weight as I take it in and out of my craft closet.

I did not know you had to buy a plan to work this. And to sign up for this. I thought you could just easily use this with any USB as it says but you cannot. But besides that it, also has a presser foot to sew with.

I love this embroidery machine. Once you set up the machine, the only thing left to do is enjoy what it can do. It is user-friendly, with an instruction guide and YouTube guide.

¡Esta es tu señal! Definitivamente lo recomiendo ✨ Me recuerdo reivisando meticulosamente mis opciones para mis proyectos de bordado, el miedo a hacer una mala inversión... Y ahora estoy segura de qje fue la mejor decisión. Llegó en excelentes condiciones, super a tiempo, y es una máquina tan noble y bonita 🩷

Siempre he tenido singer, ahora compre esta marca y no me decepciono, esta trabajando muy bien. espero tenga muy buena duraccion.

I recommend the machine. It's semi-professional. You need to know that the machine isn't just about buying and embroidering, etc. You need threads, needles, and most importantly, some kind of website to design or embroider. These websites aren't free, costing at least 15 pounds for the most basic. It's neither easy nor cheap. I've already broken a few needles. It's fine for beginners. You need a learning base. It works well, I need more hours to learn more. It weighs approximately 7 to 8 kilos.
